London East Finchley Restaurant Guide

“Wonderful French food” in a “very attractive restaurant” guarantees reliably satisfying meals at this East Finchley fixture – “we always come away feeling we’ve had a lovely evening”. It “remains a top local” in the area, and “the set-price lunch menu is particularly good value, with no extras added to your bill”.

This “excellent local” Indian in the low-key setting of an East Finchley shopping parade trades on its good-value tandoori dishes and curries.

Two-year-old izakaya “just off the High Street” in East Finchley, serving a Japanese-influenced menu with “some lovely twists – duck salad with piled high crispy bits, sea bass ceviche, blow-torched salmon sushi” (“my vegan grandson’s tempura was freshly made and delicious”). Only complaint: it’s “very small and therefore crowded”.
